Short Mod official background story

WTF??? Where did you find this??? Are you allowed to share this??? Looks interesting...

Well, as for right to share, I dunno am I allowed to share?

But I think that's not about the main issue here.

I am not claiming it as mine. I do pointed the mod to its original website.

This is a HW2 mod, I think it does no harm to keep the game going with everyone enjoying any new stuffs coming out?

Also, because I feel it is so cool that I need to share it?

Furthermore,
I guess there is a problem with HW2 mod players with different mother tongue. Everyone rarely shares out new stuffs or ideas due to language barrier and culture preferences!

The Macross: DYRL mod, gundam 0083 mod, gundam seed mod and exceptional mod but they don't get too much attention because popularity of themes and ideas.

Many English speaking players are more familiar with Slipstream, Battlestar Galatica, StarTrek, StarGate, StarWars, Halo or AFF...
These themes are more relevant as it is English based.

This mod makers or team is really passionate enough to design and create a new mod with its own dedicated website (Called Fre'liya/Elven Empire btw.) and a mod's history of the race origin.The ship also looks cool, with design concept explained.

The author has wrote this stuff with approximately 10million Chinese characters/words. Explaining the reason why they left this galaxy, their search for new home in the new galaxy, how they survive in another galaxy, dark age and rediscovery of their identity as stars-worthy race, rediscovery of Balcorra gate, 1st contact with S'Jet at the gate, reasons for intervention back into the original galaxy and as Higarra ally.

It took me some 5 hours to read the whole stuff....
Here are some really short version of the whole writing.

Short version here:

In Higarran language, Fre'liya means Elf. Thus, Fre'liya Empire are also called Elven Empire. The use of word Elven is due to great respect of the galaxy nations toward the queen of Fre'liya Empire.

When they 1st appeared in this galaxy, no one understands their existence. Where the Fre'liya/Elven Empire originated, its people or its location in the starmap. Their space fleets are not battle worthy, clumsy with really thick armor and crude in weaponry... Laughable even by comparison of any neutral nations' frigate. However, after series of battles, their ships design and battle tactics has begun to systematically refine and improve.

What truly put Fre'liya Empire into everyone attention is its participation as ally with Higarran during the great siege of Higarra capital star by Vagyr forces after Makaan death (by Sajuuk).

During the heat of the siege, Higarran fleet was already in dire situation. At this moment, fleet after fleet of significantly advanced massive Fre'liya Capital ship had jumped in, shielded most of the attack by Vagyr with their thick armor. With their powerful armor, they withstand waves after waves of Vagyr capital weapons and prevails with minor damages only. Their fixed iron cannons however never fails to tore out every decks in Vagyr capital ships. As more and more Fre'liya Capital Ships reinforcements arrives, Vagyr forces finally succumbed from heavy losses and retreated.

Months after the siege was thwarted, the battle details had eventually released and the pivotal role the Elven Empire fleet had played drawn everyone attention.

When, where, how and why the Elven Empire rises in this already explored galaxy with such a powerful fleet is an unknown secret.
Many version of their origin and existence was rumored.
Some said they are of Taidanian descent for similar ship design. Some believes they are from the Higarran Great Exodus fleet for their alliance with the Higarran. Some even connects them with the Bentusi.
As the Elven Empire's military, diplomatic and trading relationships begin to flourish with the Higarran. Elven Empire has finally released limited materials regarding its origin and history without revealing its true location and strengths. These materials reveals Fre'liyan are originated from this galaxy and explained it rises as an empire. The Chronicle, after being translated and scripted in standard galaxy language with the help of Higarran scholars, is then released to every one throughout the galaxy...

The general background begins before the verge of Taiidan-Higarran Empire all out war (of HW1) where a neutral nation (C'wyeion Dukedom?) sandwiched between two super power discovered a functional balcora gate relic at its space.

After decades of studies and restoration, the Dukedom scientists discovered its true usage as hyperspace gateway through a database within the gate's core processor unit. It is part of a complex networks of intergalactic gateways that even stretched to some other galaxies built by ancient space civilization for trading and traveling . However, most of these gateways are now dead after eons of years. Thus, a useless relic.
It still has 1 more important function, to make single far hyperspace jump granting its user and the gate could provide the needed activation energy

This means most valuable asset to the tiny space dukedom. To travel to any location given the coordinate is known.

Afraid of eventual lost of sovereignty and fate of its people, they decided to restore the gate to escape before the peril of war clashes. At Year 6552, a Mega Project called "StarGate" was initiated. The dukedom planned for a scheduled single mass migration of its people from this galaxy to other galaxy. This was their last resolve and hope to preserve their doomed sovereignty, culture and freedom even though chances of successful journey was slim. From the gateway E71A9 database, they had chosen gateway K49E3, a location few million light year away from their galaxy. It shown high possibility of habitable planet/s at that location. It was a big gamble, for there was no guarantee gateway K49E3 was still functional, but the hyperspace journey would be relatively safe. It was a blind jump with no clue awaiting them at the other side.

To maximize the chance of survival of its people, they begun to amass everything they could to build the most massive and durable ship at their nation which they named "Galaxy Ark". The project went on in utmost secrecy, so that the warring empires would not aware of the gate existence nor their great ship.

As if its the calmness before the storm, both empires saw the dukedom's abnormal activities, but no attention was given. They saw many similar abnormalities by all neutral nations at their mutual borders and both are in last prep for the great war.

Bentusi realized the C'wyeIon Dukedom's plan and decided to help; for the great ship is to escape peril, not a threat to them. With guarantee by dukedom of non-armament, they provided some key designs and resources to hasten the shipbuilding progress.

Thus, the ark finished months before the war started.

It is only 1 giant ark with enough place for its finest people to survive the long travel. The royals, scientists, officials, engineers, experts in every field of practices are selected, with a small percentage of lucky normal citizens.

Year6560, May 13th, the all out war between the 2 empires had begun. The battle broke out at all fronts, many neutral border planets/nations were occupied, destroyed or forced to take side. These planets had became front bases and anchor points for the vast empire fleets. Eventually, they were integrated as part of each empire's borderlands.

As for the dukedom, there was no exception, it sovereignty was lost at the 1st wave of clashes. The dukedom ceased to be. However, its project StarGate had already reached its goal. On the same day the war broke out, the ark had passed through the fully energized hyperspace gateway for the far-off place.

As soon the jump was made, the massive was scuttled into million pieces of space junks, to prevent from becoming a threat to the ark itself or at the wrong hand. Thus, the secret ship won't be pursued nor being even knew by almost anyone in the galaxy.

As for the old dukedom, all records of its existence were slowly faded away like the Cobblestone in the river. Nor it being fully remembered by the Fre'liya Empire after few thousand years.

Wow just ending playing a game, keeping enemy alive to fully research all stuff and build everything. Its impressive how the ships' design are efficient in awesomness using few poly and no uber detailled textures.

I also like the way you can spam frigates and fighter at the begining of the battle :P, it could result in never ending war on multiplayer games ^^.

There are 2 options for race.
One is the fixed everything like a normal race, second option is like the combination mod 9ccn did.
All the ships there but u have to pick weapons, armor, engines etc.
Without translation its impossible to really know what your picking.

In regulair mode when u build the biggest ship it says something in the middle and from that point on u have a music track playing.
And that ship, wow just wow, can take out fleets on fleets and not take a scratch, its an game ender pretty much.

Yep, i made it via the second better comba ship (a uber weaponned construction ship). I was researching everything and building everysubsystem, and at a point, the last subsystem of this ship was able to be build, then i built it and unlock the god ship.

You are supposed to build the godship also via carrier it seem, but i didn't even get the last research module unlocked on them, so that why i beleive the godship was still grey on them.

The tricky thing is that i would not have think that you could build thing with this second better battle ship, it was almost by accident that i discover this possibilities.

So in an easy way, upgrade everything and build every kind of ship and subsytem.

mmm....yep that's the ultimate mother ship... Elven Queen Class Super Capital... since in the author storyline, he mentioned this ship is modeled after the crashed "Galaxy Ark" about the same time after Hiigara-Taidan Empire War 1st ensued during the HW1 timeline. Only 12 Elven Queen Super Cap are built for any given time and generation. Its the moving fortress and Royal Chariot. I guess that's why you allowed to built only one.

For getting this ship, you need to fully research the factory ship tier. ( got 7 tiers) Plus, build every slot in the factory ship.

What is factory ship? The initial gigantic mothership with 12 mini blue pulse machine guns you got at game start.
You need a fleet of Battlecruisers and swarms of Ion frigates to even start to scratched its paint. =)

{Back ground here....}
From the farjump inside the great ship "Galaxy Ark". the Fre'liyaan reached another galaxy and progress slowly searching for suitable/sustainable planet.

During the process, they suffered severe power shortage as the far-jump drain too much juice, allowing 1 final jump with their hyperspace module. Travel with conventional drive, its hopeless to reach any star system for centuries.

Relying on the Balcora gate eons old database about this galaxy, they believe there will be a habitable planet within reach. Correction, having faith and a last hope as the jump had no preplanned surveillance.

They launched out all their Hyperspace transmission-capable telemetry probes in every directions, pacing uneasily away from this new Galaxy Balcora Gate, up to the point of near exhaustion of everything inside the huge citidel ship; before 1 of great many probes finally responded with good news.

They found a planet veiled by a purple atmosphere, with 70% land mass, 30% sea/water, with perfect orbit position and stable tectonic condition. No harmful toxic or deadly predators, abundance of vege and protein source, it was decided this will be their new home.

They jumped into the star system coordinate. However, given that they already suffer power shortage and indeed makes life support and ship systems beyond miserable, their final Hyperspace jump was cut short and total system failure entailed. They reached the star system outermost orbit, grappled by its gravity pull, making a corrected but slow pace toward the planet before all fusion fuel ran dry.

At this point, the ship was a big ark of flying coffin. So, they had no more control on how to attain orbit with the planet. Rather they were making a fiery touch down. Crash-landed style.

The ship sliced through the atmosphere like meteor, smashed a mountain and rolled to a halt. Imagine Tunguska 1908 SIBERIA explosion 1000times greater. =)

Thank to the ship enormous size, fine steelmanship and Bentusi superior structural design. The ship did not exploded in mid air. It only broke into half. They crash-landed with initially +/-40% survived, th percentage dwindled as portion of them were trapped within the wreck heavy door design to survive plasma bombs. With many equipments broke loose, low on power and damaged during disintegration of the ship hull. Sadly, some of them made landfall but never made it ashore in the dying ship.

For the survived. they faced immediate crisis.

1. Loss of Chain of Command.

2.Food and energy.

The land-fall was a bumpy-ride. Though many survived, but the royal family of the Dukedom and most of the critical government officials did not. Entire Royal family was wipe out as the ship break in half with the command bridge and Royal cabin areas were the breaking points.

The ship was already low on every resources during the journey. With chain of command gone, anarchy almost ensued. Ad-hoc council was formed to take care the ugly mess of surviving. (Like Katrina Hurricane in New Orleans?) Survivors made factions and try to put up to survive in an uneasy harmony.

Months later, they managed to survived the initial shock and survivors must decides and predict what future they'd have as race now. The crashed site could no longer support all of them, food scavenging and available farming land from immediate areas were already over utilized. Living standard was nil. Riots, famine, crimes and factions war was growing, Furthermore, the final tiny reserve of energy they could scraped had dried.

No energy = No power = Social disintegration = Loss of Knowledge and Technologies = Loss of pride as an Space-traveling race and identity.

To prevent total failure of society and end of the race in their generation, they decided to venture out. Fanned out all directions with any usable equipments and by factions, they left the crashed site. Only few left behind, and it became a metal relic for most of time later.

The space-traveling race had now reduced to survivors, with most of their technology and knowledge already diminished.

Education was impossible for the 2nd generations after land-fall where tools, equipments, teaching staffs and methodology and trainings are gone. Anticipating this, the surviving scholars and scientists alike began to mass produced scrolls of knowledge that will survived for generations and handled out to everyone for safekeeping while stashing even more knowledge tabs. memory cards, books or data pads in secret locations around the planet as colonization continued. Believing one day, their lineage will finally regain enough intelligence to interpret and utilized the ancestor wisdom.

Thus, with the 1st caravan of pioneers heading out the unknown, Dark Age for the Fre'liyan had begun.

Only a few had choose to left behind, and the crashed-site had became a shiny metallic monument of ancestral achievement and a religious relic for most of time later.

I am grateful of all your care and support toward the development of YaoDu Mod. My special gratitude to ???? (Stellar DemonKing),??(mouse),???(shirakawa shyu) in mod progress.

I've been busy in work ever since Spring break. Whatever time I've left I spend it all on the Mod. In conjunction of a 3month long 10thousand words background story of Fairy Empire Chronicle. All of this had bogged down the mod development. Though version 0.8 was a laborious and difficult release, I believe every time i spend on it is to make mod a better game...

Aeios Empire appeared around 9521 Galactic Year at the fringe of one the Higarra Galaxy Arm. It fleet relies on gravity as energy source, employing Electro Magnetic based projectile as primary and missiles as secondary weaponry.

In this mode, you are commanding a special warfare combat carrier behind enemy line. You can't get help by hyperspace or produce any main battleship class in hostile region. Worse still, there is no RU operation available. You may try to destroyed any hostile ship to gain certain bounty RU points, but your priority is to get the hell out of enemy encirclement while attempt to destroyed the target fortress.

Well, Enjoy!!!!

I hope you guys could keep me update!
I am still unable to play the HW2 and the mod due to HDD storage problem and time constraints.

A member in their official mod forum had suggested English mod release, similar to FxMod.

They are looking for volunteers too... So that they can release it on Moddb.

Entire archive, concept and background story is based on Chinese/Mandarin Language.
You needa be fluent in both Chinese/Mandarin and English, preferably be able to speak both to communicate directly with the author.

Can someone PLEASE host this mod on ModDB for the author? This is the BEST mod I have ever seen so far. Can someone upload this to ModDB please? I would really appreciate it. (I can't read the words on the 115 page).

1) Download WinRAR.
2) Download Parts 1, 2, and 3.
3) Right click on Part1.rar and click on "Extract".
4) Select the location you would like the mod to be located.
5) Sing the alphabet song as loud as you can over and over until the extraction process is complete.
6) Now that you've made a fool of yourself singing the alphabet song as loud as you can, you can now enjoy the mod.

OK, seriously? I just extract the mod and thats it? I don't have to make a shortcut or anything? I just magically play it? lol What would I add to the shortcut line? I'm thinking that I would rename all 3 BIG files as YaoDuMOD1.big YaoDuMOD2.big and YaoDuMOD3.big, then I would add -mod YaoDuMOD1 -mod YaoDuMOD2 -mod YaoDuMOD3 to the shortcut line. Is this the proper way?

@ajlsunrise: Good Heavens, thanks for going through that! I assumed, wrongly it seems, that the whole RAR "parts" thing was old hat to most folks on the boards.

@lmsmi1: Anyway, hope you have been able to get some playing in on the Mod. It is definitely a bit challenging playing in Chinese, and my Mandarin generally doesn't include things like "battlecruiser" and whatnot! Game play is pretty intense, and some of the ships are crazy-powerful.

As I said, I posted on their website to the "translation" thread, but haven't heard much yet.

where are the files I need to look at translating? I do not speak chinese but was thinking that perhaps I could translate at least the names somehow.
Obviously its in the .big and we are not allowed to extract it? Its a mod obviously so the maker has no rights, but we must respect their wishes.

just checking out the YaoDu mod official website.
New version is in closed-beta testing.
The author had redesigned his website and erased all linking to the mod download. I guess u will have to rely on http://www.gamefront.com/files/20899558 to get the mod.
Also new release info of the latest ship models and conceptual picture and some in-game .gif & .jpg pictures.
well, if u guys still love this mod juz go check it out~ http://www.yaodumod.com/upfile/colum/pic/fairyemp/2.jpg <---change the numbering from 1 to 18
